Past Events
French Embassy
On Friday 28th January
2022, the Counsellor for Cooperation and Culture, Mme Marine Debliquis and the
Press Counsellor, M Arnaud Mahot, both from the French Embassy, paid a courtesy
visit to the National Sport School on the occasion of French Language Day.
They were greeted by the
Head of School Mr. Robert Magro, together with the senior leadership team, the
sports management team and the teachers of French, Mrs Angele Vella Lauwers and
Ms Marisa Vassallo Sciberras. Members of our staff who are of French
nationality were also there to greet our guests.
The teaching staff and
students enjoyed having the opportunity to discuss particular topics of
interest and importance, not least a potential collaboration with sports schools
in France.
Mme Debliquis was guided
around the school and took time to speak with our student/athletes during the
practice of their main sport. Mme Debliquis and M Mahot were later presented
with a souvenir of their visit in the form of a commemorative plate by Mdina
Glass.
Several activities were
also organized to celebrate the French Language Day. A morning school assembly was held online by
the French department to give some general information about France and its
culture. French music was projected
during the two breaks. Cultural videos
about France and French speaking countries were diffused on the school’s
screens. Students also had the opportunity to taste the French croissant. Moreover, during the French lessons, students
enjoyed playing quizzes. Year 9 student, Faith Anouk Cassar was awarded first
place at a French competition called “Faites la Fête” organised by the French
Teachers’ Association (APFM).
The aim of these activities
was also to encourage Year 8 students at NSS to choose French as an option
subject.

THE LABYRINTH - PUBLIC LECTURE ORGANISED BY THE MALTA CLASSICS ASSOCIATIONThe Labyrinth is a popular and central feature of Greek and Roman mythology yet the myth often overshadows a more fundamental aspect. From the rites of passage of archaic communities to the use by Medieval Christian communities of the labyrinth as a metaphor for our inner psychic core, the Labyrinth has come to stand for much. Prof Schoonhoven, former assistant-professor of Latin and Greek at the State University of Groningen in the Netherlands, will be discussing precisely this in his upcoming public lecture.
